Princeton Dog Training Club offers a variety of classes in Companion Obedience, Competition Obedience, Agility and Rally. Classes are taught by experienced trainers, and the competition class instructors are top competitors who are active in their sports.  For information about our instructors and class offerings, see the class descriptions below and the Instructors page.

Student-to-instructor ratios are intentionally kept small to permit individual attention. Competition obedience is emphasized, with particular emphasis on the dog's relationship to the owner and solid life issue skills. In agility classes, the dogs progress quickly to performing short courses and working off-lead while around other dogs. The emphasis is on building strong foundation skills. As the student and their dog progress they are taught more intricate and complex skills.

Obedience Offerings:

Rally - O
